Race for record cell efficiencies often
says little about mass production capability

It is common practice to report cell efficiencies
More important is resulting module power with such
cells in like-for-like comparison in Wp
Like-for-like means:
✓ number of cells e.g. 60 or 72 cells
✓ wafer size e.g. M2 (244.3cm 2) or M4 (258.3cm²)
✓ full-sized or half cells (the latter leading to
~5 Wp more power in 60 cell module)
Some companies summarize under "PERC” any cell
structure containing advanced passivation concepts
such as TOPCon
Especially "PERC" lab cell efficiency results usually
based on scientifically optimized recipes which are
hardly transferable into production environment
■ Meyer Burger's commercially reported cell
efficiencies are always based on cost-competitive
production-ready recipes.
